APPENDIX Z 1. BACKGROUND Representations have been made to the Township of Clarke by applicants who wish to establish mobile home retirement facilities in the municipality. In reviewing the desirability of the proposal Council assessed the need for such development, the proposed location, surrounding and proposed land uses and desirable development controls. The Township is of the opinion than a need exists for this type of housing accommodation and that such development would be an asset to both the Municipality and the Province. 2. POPULATION TREND Table 1 indicates that the retirement age population in Ontario is increasing in both absolute terms and as a percentage of total Ontario and Canadian population. In response to similar trends in the Unfted States a number of retirement communities have developed; however, the concept of the providing a community aimed specifically at a retirement aged population is a relativly new concept for Ontario. TABLE 1 Year Total Ontario Percentage of Percent age of Total ~- Population Aged Total Canadian Ontario Population 6~ ~e~rs and over Population Aged AEZed 65 veers and over 6 vears,an_ d over 1921 172,251 4.78 5.87 1931 234,161 5.55 6•~ 1941 301,325 6.67 7.96 1951 400,363 7.75 8.71 1961 508,073 7.62 8.15 1971 644,410 8.09 8.37 Source: 1971 Census of Canada (A-1) The encourage^~ent of such communities in Ontario would have a number of advantages among which would be the provision of a stimulating environment for members of our rapidly increasing retirement population. 3. RETIREMENT COMMUNITY REQUIREMENTS The policies and community requis'em,ents set out in the Amend- ment were formulated on the basis of the following assumptions: (a) no industrial area will be necessary as a source of employ- ment or as a source of tax revenue. (b) standard open space and recreational facility requirements must be increased to provide for the activities of the resident. (c) commercial facilities should be provided at a rate sufficient to accomodate the daily needs of the residents. (d) school facilities will not be necessary since: (i) the occupancy of each unit will be limited to two persons, and (ii) the atmosphere and advertising of the community will be geared to attracting retired people. (e) development is to take place on the basis of full services and the community is to operate as a mobile home park. (f) the mobile homes within the park will be assessed and taxed as normal homes. 4. EXISTING LAND USE The existing land use in the areas which are the subject of this amendment is as shown on Plate 3B of the Official Plan. 5, PROPOSED ARTERIAL In order to provide adequate access to the proposed retirement community located to the west of Newcastle as new arterial road has been proposed. (A-2) This road, together with abridge crossing Highway 401 and the Canadian National Railways, will be constructed and used as the main access while Cobbledick Road and its crossing of the CNR tracks will be upgraded to the extent necessary that it ,may serve as a secondary or emergency access.
